• Head to Vs. Mode and play against a computer.
  • It’s easiest to earn Death by a Thousand cuts playing against the game’s AI (unless you’ve got an extra controller, in which case start a two-player match and play against an unresponsive foe.)
• Get your opponent down to low health (about where the red bar start’s on Sabito’s health in the image below.)
  • Enacting this five-hit kill combo requires enemies to have minimal health. Make sure that you’re trying this on the final round of a match, otherwise the trophy/achievement won’t pop.

• Activate your Boost or Surge bar before starting the combo.
  • The specific combo that players need to use is the neutral melee attack combo only available while their character is in a buffed state. Keep attacking your opponent until the combo ends with a special animation. If you’ve followed each of these steps then your enemy will fall and you’ll earn your trophy.
